Laurel Sprengelmeyer, the Montreal-based pop experimenter who records
as Little Scream, has roped in practically the entire indie rock A-list
to appear on Cult Following, her forthcoming album. As Pitchfork points out,
the LP has a very impressive list of guests: Sufjan Stevens! Sharon Van
Etten! The National’s Bryce and Aaron Dessner! TV On The Radio’s Kyp
Malone! Owen Pallett! Folk veteran Mary Margaret O’Hara, who isn’t indie
rock but is impressive! And she made the whole thing with Arcade Fire’s
Richard Reed Parry, credited as her “creative partner.” Dan Huiting directed the colorful, energetic video for her peppy, frenetic single
“Love As A Weapon,” and it’s heavy on wood-panel kitsch, snowy
landscapes, and vogue dancers.
